This image displays an open, vintage book or magazine, with its pages spread flat against a plain, light-gray surface. The page is written in German and is from an article titled “Die Jagd auf griechische Vasen” (“The Hunt for Greek Vases”), published in “Weltkunst Magazin” on 15 February 1973, as indicated at the bottom of the page.
The layout features a central photograph of a red-figured Kylix (drinking cup) from the 5th century BC, showing its interior decoration — a dynamic scene likely depicting a hunt or mythological event. Below the main image are two smaller line drawings: one of a Krater (mixing vessel) and another of an oinochoe (wine jug), both also ancient Greek.
The text, authored by Fritz Neugass, discusses the American craze for Greek vase collecting, particularly the acquisition and display of ancient Greek pottery in museums such as the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. The article highlights the influential role of figures like Edward P. Warren and John Marshall, and touches upon specific artifacts, including the “Kerameikos Krater” and the “Lagone” (Lagynos) amphora.
